Most of us are blessed to start our lives with great promise – a healthy body, a curious mind, and years ahead of us. David was just such a youth. At a young age he had defeated lions and bears in defense of his family’s flocks. He was strong yet he had learned to putContinue reading “David”

His Plan; Our Choices
Nothing is better than going to the Temple to hear Heavenly Father’s great and marvelous Plan of Salvation. The creation of the world, the sun, moon, and stars. The formation of the great seas, mountains, glaciers and rivers. Then, life was created, plant life and animal life. Finally, Adam and Eve were formed. As theContinue reading “His Plan; Our Choices”
To Believe
Nephi heard his father preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and he wanted to know for himself. When the Lord answered his prayers life didn’t suddenly become easier for Nephi. He still had trials and hardship, but these things were easier to bear because he trusted and accepted Heavenly Father’s will for him. Nephi humblyContinue reading “To Believe”
Traditions!
Easter is one of the most important celebrations in the Christian world. As Joseph Smith once said – “The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain toContinue reading “Traditions!”
New Things
This fall we will be empty nesters for a decade. We’ve had time to do many of the things we longed to do as young parents. No, it’s not travel. I’m talking DATING!!

Moose!
It has been a very mild winter here in north Idaho. It felt like spring was coming early until March came and blew in some more freezing temperatures and snow. I think even the animals were fooled. I was walking the 300 yards or so to my house from my mom’s house when I heardContinue reading “Moose!”
Good Books
When I heard that President Russell M Nelson was writing an autobiography of 99 years of living, I went out and bought it. I gave it to my mother for Christmas. She liked it so much that she had my sister give her an audio version of the book for her February birthday! The bookContinue reading “Good Books”
A Zion People
We’ve been blessed to live within a days drive of two of our children. Sometimes we can even provide useful skills. This last week we visited our daughter, the Hendrix family, and helped them install a new floor. It was very rewarding. I attended church with them. The teacher asked – what is a zion-likeContinue reading “A Zion People”
Sariah
Sariah is one of the rare women mentioned in scripture. 1 Nephi 5 contains a valuable record of Sariah’s trial, her faith, and her testimony as she is stretched to her breaking point. In 1Nephi 5, Sariah has already left the only home she has ever known, her extended family, and her wealth as sheContinue reading “Sariah”
